Hi guys as you know i broke my car for parts, as i really couldnt be arsed with all the problems it had anymore. Found a bargain IMO
Corsa Gsi L Reg, FSH, 64K, all Mot's from 1994 onwards, a load of reciept's all work done at vauxhall, and a full respray in April All for 1200 pounds !
Anyway only got a few poor pics, it was standard as shown in this picture.

Got a set of 16 inch softstars coming tomorrow and did loads of work today which included lowering it 60mm on FK shocks and springs and changing various parts from the old onto the new one ....
Also removed the fog on the left morette as it was cracked anyway and its a good source of cold air aswell as making the car look more agressive.
I can safely say i havent looked back twice since picking it up

Softstar's, booked in for a new exhaust system to be made on Monday, probably window tint's only light though, thats about it, just going to keep it pretty standard, also got some mud flaps on order for it from vauxhall... I love it i cant believe a 93 Gsi feels better than my 50k sport ever did 
Jazzer - Nope no more playing with engine's cant be arsed with the hassle, drilled the airbox and that's it, just going to keep it in mint condition.

that could have been down to the inlet, sometimes creating more peak BHP you can sacrafise a bit of torque
